Same! It’s hard with so many “lol lawyers suck” people around but I went into this profession because I cherish the rule of law and most of my peers do as well. The AGs and their staff are risking a lot to do this, considering the overt threats and recriminations coming from the White House, and I’m extremely grateful…

So they haven’t even thought about that yet. What happened was the AGs went into court and said “Hey we are challenging this ban and, by the way, it’s really obviously illegal and lots of people are being hurt by it so we don’t think it should be in effect during the trial”. And the lower court judge agreed and issued…

OH YES YES C’MON ROSIE, C’MON ROSIE, DON’T LET US DOWN, YOU GOT THIS.....!!!

This is a day where I feel really proud to be a lawyer and part of the justice system.

I’d really like to believe that, but I can’t. I think the minute she becomes a legitimate presidential candidate, a fuck of a lot of supposed liberals are going to turn on her and attack her every bit as viciously as they attacked Hillary.

I think it’s also probably a sign that both Hill and Bill are done with running for things so the whole family has joined together like a giant Optimus Prime but instead of a robot, the final form is just a giant middle finger.

I’m so conflicted about all of this. On the one hand, I want Trump’s administration to continue to be a smoldering dumpster fire so that even the dense idiots that voted for him eventually realize that competence has value.

On the other, I am worried about a smoldering dumpster fire turning into an actual…

That’s my silver lining to all this and I’m clinging to it. He’s brought people together in our country more effectively than anyone I’ve ever seen, including Obama. Now if we can just sustain this anger and passion and channel it into taking back control of the government, up and down stream, we might end up…

I actually think the fallout from the election of Trump will be a long-term benefit for our country. People have been reminded how active participation is required to buoy a democracy.

So it never occurred to anyone to ask the White House staff how to turn on the lights?

I love the Root on Monday mornings, always ready to take shit head on. Good Morning, Michael!

I’ve never called an elected representative in my life. I just did. I expected to have to leave a voicemail, but someone picked up on the first ring! This caught me off guard, so I stammered my way through what I wanted to say about the last couple of weeks, especially this weekend. Who knows if the congressperson I…

My guess is you’re also a fiscal conservative who doesn’t recognize the cost of unwanted children, the corresponding spike in crime rates, the deaths of women who dont have abortion access, the fact that abortions don’t decrease when abortion is inaccessible or illegal, and you’re probabaly against universal…

I used to volunteer a lot for Planned Parenthood in Los Angeles, and much of that was “community outreach” — going to communities that had a clinic and passing out information about the services it offered. The very first time I did one of those, I had what remains the most rewarding and simultaneously most…

no one in their right mind would ever fuck them?

Agree 1000%

Hello! As a former Hill person, two things:

I’ve become more and more of a Captain America fan of late. His position in favor of punching Nazis as often as possible is an added bonus.

I say that the Democrats should do everything that they can to filibuster.

I’m not here for that either. I will say straight up, I want Trump to fail. I want him to fail at EVERYTHING. I would prefer that his programs didn’t go through at all but I will settle for it being a flaming failure that is so bloody obvious that Republicans don’t get considered for office for a century. There is…
